Whats with some of these squads?

[Tr1gg22]

Sorry to here about your squad problems....There are plenty of squads out there that are great..I am the CO of the Wobblin Gobblins We have a great time but we are training fanatics with a real time command structure.. This does not suit a lot of gamers ,and I understand that..You need to figure out what kind of squad u want to be in.. We are a new squad established  JAN 2008. The 412th is a great squad.. Aces and eights.. LTARS...Unforgiven, and lots more out there I have a bad memory so please forgive me..Do not get discouraged there are squads here that have been around for years..Good luck and....

The 412th is a great squad..

Thanks for the kind words and I'll pass that on to SkatSr and the rest of the 412th

Many times squads start up and jump in too seriously. Folks join and play for awhile but as the new wears off they realize it is too much work because everyone is too serious. The squad then implodes.

Good "rule of thumb" fly with the guys some to get a feel of what they are trying to do. Watch how they interact before making a choice.

Good advice all!  The interesting thing about what happened to me was that with both the Muffin Munchers and the Black Aces....The guys i flew with were AWESOME!  Very friendly, older flyers that like to fly and joke around while doing it.....(WeRborg...I shall never forget you serenading me during the NOE bomber run!).  They didnt ever strike me as the kind of folks that would just disappear.  From those two squads i only see three guys flying on-line anymore.  It is just weird. 

To the point of starting my own squad.  I would love to do that but then i have ot CO.  I am too new and too lazy to do that.  If i did that then someone would be on here complaining about MY squad imploding...LOL  I wouldnt even know how to start a squad.  Hey.....How DO you start a squad???

 

[Ack-Ack]

In the end it's all about having fun, and hanging out with good people. 

Yep, which is reason why I've stayed in the 479th for going on 10 years now and others in the Raiders have been in the squadron since it was created in back in '96.

Play MW4 mercs much? I worship my machines   You know who we are.

[GhostBer]

Actually i have never played MW4.  I have played Battletech and this is where i get my love for the mighty ghost Bears!

Now......Back to the squad thing.  I guess i will post what i am looking for in a squad and maybe one of the ones that i have flown with in the past two to three weeks will pipe up and let me fly with them on a trial basis.

Here is what i am looking for........Please do nto be offended by these...i have reasons for most of these and i feel that they are valid.

1. Sunday night Squad night - This is really the only time i can get online long enough to play for any length of time.

2. Training, Training, Training - God knows i need the help with this game!

3. Loyal to the mighty Bish - I have flown with the Bish side for the entire time i have been on AH (all of three months ) and would like to continue to do so.

4. I do not like GVing, I am not good at GVing and do not really wish to learn.  The only time i get in a GV is to shoot down base attacking airplanes. 

5. I can bomb but i am not good at it at all!  i am willing to learn but it isnt as enjoyable as flying fighters.

6. Must not take yourselves too seriously.  I will follow orders on squad nights and during missions but when you chastise me for cracking a joke on vox i will have a problem with that.  I am here to have fun and cracking jokes with my squaddies is one of the more enjoyable things i do.  When it is time to get serious i will be the most serious, focused flyer on the squad but we play this game to have fun and i will do that to the best of my ability. 

7. I also curse....if you have a problem with cursing on vox than maybe i am not the person to be in your squad.


So....There you go.  Any squads that think i might be a good fit i would love to hear from you. I have flown with quite a few good squads (Killumanati, Jokers Jokers, Rolling Thunder, Death from Above ETC) and enjoyed it very much.

If your into flying hellcats and anything else that blows things to hell, check out the VF-31 TOMCATTERS. We fly rook now, RATTFINK is the person you want to talk to. We are a group of older crazy dudes and enjoy the game for what it is. Check us out sometime............

[Acidreign]

Back in AW, i was with a few squads, I was even an original Chawk. Here i was in one squad for a bit, Drunken Monkeys. Nice guys, but i just prefer to do my own thing. I was never one for squad nights or "taking orders".

 Just make your own squad, do your own thing, fly with anyone yah like, any country yah like. The key thing is just to have fun, thats what this game is all about.

Hey Ghost,
You are always welcome to fly with us Jokers. We have been a little more relaxed lately with Joker in the process of moving and RL taking over most of our free time, myself included, but we normally have anywhere from 5-10 players on nightly and more on the weekends. We stay Bish so that fits your needs and we will do out best to help you in any way possible. Alot of our guys enjoy GV'in and bombing (i do not normally), but there is always air support needed and fun to be had for all. Cursing is not a problem as long as it's not directed at me all the time...lol. Anywho drop us a line at JokersJokers.com or we will see you in the MA's.

Ghostber, do you Remember Hoagi from AW? He's in the Jokers squad too. Go ahead and try the Jokers but give Rolling Thunder a shot too.

[apcampbell]

Ghost, you're welcome to come check out the 353rd as well. We've been active for at least a year and a half now and are still looking to grow. Ultimately though, it's your decision. Just keep in mind there are several top notch squads out there with great reputations and established longetivity. The 251st, AK's, 325th, 327th, LCA, and JG11 come to mind as we 353rd guys have flown with and against them, and they regularly participate in FSOs. They also have known reputations of being quality squads.

Good luck finding a home!

GHOST,

My advise to you would be not to hold yourself down to one country when looking for a squad. All the things your looking for might be in a different one and that is more important to find than what chess piece you play under.

Look into the Tomcatters. Contact Ratfink...or even the LCA to name two that I know of as being good.  The birds of prey are also good. I think they're bish also.
